10 Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Limited Patent Databases Section 3 : Terms which apply to both End Users and Search Brokers i. You acknowledge that the amount You pay to TRPUL (via online host vendors) for the Information received from TRPUL will in most instances represent a small portion of Your overall cost of the project, task or function for which the Information will be used. You also acknowledge that the type of Information to be provided by TRPUL (through the online host vendors) and provided to You may contain a degree of error. Finally, You acknowledge that the risk of any loss or injury which might be incurred by You (and/or Your customer in the case of a Search Broker) in reliance upon the Information will be borne by You (and/or Your customer in the case of a Search Broker). For these reasons, You agree that You are responsible for determining that all Information provided by TRPUL to You is sufficiently accurate for Your purposes. Neither TRPUL nor the online host vendors makes any representation or warranties of any kind with respect to the Information, including, but not limited to, its correctness, completeness, currentness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or with respect to the media on which the Information is provided and neither TRPUL (nor the online host vendors) shall be liable for any loss, injury or death arising out of or caused, in whole or in part, by TRPUL (or the online host vendors) negligent acts or omissions in reporting, communicating or delivering the Information, directly or indirectly, to You. ii. iii. iv. You agree that neither TRPUL nor the online host vendors will be liable for consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such claims by users of TRPUL information.

You agree that You will not commit or permit any act or omission by Your agents, employees or any third party which would impair TRPUL proprietary and intellectual property rights in the information. vi. vii. You understand that You are the beneficiary of a contract between TRPUL and/or the online host vendors and that, under that contract, both TRPUL and the online host vendors have reserved certain rights which may result in the termination of Your right to receive Information from TRPUL. In addition, TRPUL may terminate this Agreement at any time if You breach any of its terms. These Terms are subject to change at any time by TRPUL and are in addition to those found in the online host vendors customer agreements.
